With women outliving men and more choosing to live alone, they are more likely to make a difference through wealth transfer, including inheritance and their own wealth into philanthropic dollars.

How are we re-defining masculinity in their roles as a good father, son, husband, and worker? Does it make a man weak when he slips his child into his pyjamas, tucks him in his bed and mesmerizes in the sound of the baby suckling the bottle; or when a man speaks about his emotions and regrets, then breaks down in tears?
